Lavin Entrepreneurship Program

The Lavin Entrepreneurship Program is open to first and second year students in all majors who are interested in entrepreneurship.

Do you dream of creating your own startup? Aspire to launch a business, disrupt a market or change the world with your big idea? Would you stay up all night designing a logo, reworking a product, or filling a customer order—if the business were your own?
